They are separate published counts. postcodes.io lists Wilby and Little Irchester as villages in the NN8 district, Finedon in NN9, and Great Doddington and Irchester in NN29, all within North Northamptonshire. Schools here follow the English national curriculum. We place children by school year, Year 2 to Year 13, and can match lessons to GCSE and A level computer science or maths. ### Northamptonshire pages More from the county: [coding classes in Northamptonshire](/coding-classes-in-northamptonshire), [Kettering](/vibe-coding-and-ai-agents-classes-in-kettering) and [Northampton](/best-coding-and-ai-classes-in-northampton). On why we teach reasoning before tools, see [learn to think, not just use AI tools](/learn-to-think-not-just-use-ai-tools-uk). The Wellingborough project ## k-core decomposition: peeling a street network Take away the dead ends, then whatever became a dead end, and keep going. With one query to OpenStreetMap, the learner downloads every way tagged as a public road class inside a box around Wellingborough: 1,769 mapped ways, from main roads down to residential streets, leaving out service roads, tracks and footpaths. The program turns them into a network whose points are junctions and street ends. The largest connected piece has 2,236 points and 2,572 links. Counting links at each point gives the first picture. | Links at the point | What it is | How many | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | A dead end | 811 | | 2 | A join between two streets | 7 | | 3 | A three-way junction | 1,355 | | 4 | A crossroads | 61 | | 5 | A five-way junction | 2 | Now the peeling. Round one removes the 811 dead ends. That leaves some junctions with only one link, so round two removes 239 more, round three 90, and so on through eight rounds until every remaining point has at least two links. In all 1,223 points are peeled away. What survives is the 2-core: 1,013 points and 1,349 links, 45.3% of the network. It is the part of the town made of loops, where there is always a second way round. Everything peeled off is a branch: a cul-de-sac, or a whole estate that joins the rest at a single point. The next step gives the surprising result. There are 1,355 three-way junctions, so a learner expects a healthy 3-core, a region where every junction has three links inside the region. Peeling for three links removes 384 points in the first round, 265 in the second, and after seven rounds nothing is left. The 3-core is empty, and the highest core number anywhere in the network is 2. A junction having three links is a local fact; belonging to a 3-core is a fact about the whole neighbourhood, and the streets do not supply it. One limit to note: roads that leave the box are cut off and counted as dead ends, so points close to the edge are peeled earlier than they would be on a wider map. ### Ages 8 to 11 Colour a printed street map, crossing out dead ends again and again until only loops remain. ### Ages 11 to 15 Store the network as a Python dictionary and write the loop that peels points with one link. ### Ages 15 and up Compute every point's core number, confirm the 3-core is empty and explain why degree did not predict it. ### Map data credit Street data (C) OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence, read on 30 September 2026. The junction network, the peeling and all counts are our own processing, and they depend on how streets are mapped and on the box we chose. Networks and AI ## What peeling a network teaches about vibe coding and AI agents A point with many links is not always important. Structure has to be computed. | Found in the street network | The wider lesson | | --- | --- | | 1,355 junctions had three links | A local count is easy and tempting | | Yet the 3-core was empty | Global structure can contradict local counts | | Removing 811 points exposed 239 more | One change can cascade, so loop until stable | | 45.3% of points formed the 2-core | Separate the core from the fringe before analysing | | Box edges created false dead ends | Know where your data was cut | Graph ideas sit underneath a good deal of AI: recommendation systems, fraud detection, knowledge graphs and the way some assistants link facts together. Vibe coding, where you describe software in plain English and an AI writes it, makes it easy to get a k-core function in seconds. It also makes it easy to get one that peels a single round and stops. Wellingborough learners have done the peeling by hand on paper, so they know to test the AI's version on a small network with a known answer. An AI agent that explores a network of web pages or documents needs the same awareness of what is core and what is a dead end. Agent projects follow once Python is secure, which for most learners is in the later teenage years or adulthood, and Copilot Studio agents are taught one-to-one only. Continue with [AI agents for UK students](/ai-agents-course-for-students-uk) and [understand the code, don't copy-paste](/understand-the-code-dont-copy-paste-uk). OpenStreetMap, the Office for National Statistics and postcodes.io are independent of Modern Age Coders. We relied on their open data and take responsibility for everything computed from it.

[Data Structures & Algorithms Course](/courses/data-structures-algorithms-masterclass-college)[Python Masterclass](/courses/python-programming-masterclass-zero-to-advanced-college)AI and networks ## What is a k-core, and why does network structure matter for AI? A k-core is the largest part of a network in which every point is linked to at least k other points of that part; it matters for AI because systems that rank, recommend or link information need to tell a network's dense middle from its fringe. In Wellingborough's street network of 2,236 points, peeling left a 2-core of 1,013 points, and although 1,355 junctions had three links the 3-core was empty. Someone who has seen that result will not take "it has lots of connections" as proof that something is central, in a road map or in an AI's knowledge graph. Working it through in code is what makes the idea stick, and it is the kind of understanding that keeps Wellingborough teenagers useful alongside AI in 2026. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Day to day ## The way Wellingborough lessons run All teaching is on a video call. The learner needs a computer with a camera and a quiet enough corner to think in. ### The student drives Code is written by the learner on their own shared screen; the tutor prompts, questions and corrects course. ### Start with a real lesson We use a free session to see how the learner thinks, then name the course that suits. ### No cost, no card Trying a lesson commits you to nothing. ### Level-matched classes Five to ten learners who are all at one stage, joining from around the UK. ### Twice weekly Through the school term, with Northamptonshire holiday weeks off when you send dates. ### A constant UK slot Tutors take on the clock change, and your time stays put. Why this is taught online A shared screen lets a tutor see exactly what the learner typed, and an online class can be assembled from learners at one level across the whole country.

FAQ ## Wellingborough questions and answers Networks, the street project, the courses, vibe coding and the practical side. ### What is the population of Wellingborough? The ONS recorded 54,425 usual residents in the Wellingborough built-up area at the 2021 census. North Northamptonshire as a whole had 359,525. ### Can I take coding and AI classes from Wellingborough? Yes. Lessons are live and online for ages 6 to 67, so Wellingborough, Wilby, Finedon and Great Doddington are all covered. ### What is a core number? A point's core number is the largest k for which the point belongs to the k-core. It says how deep inside the network the point sits. ### What is a graph in computer science? A graph is a set of points, called nodes, joined by links, called edges. Road maps, friendships and web pages can all be stored as graphs. ### What did the Wellingborough project find? Of 2,236 points in the street network, 1,013 formed the 2-core after eight rounds of peeling, and no 3-core existed even though 1,355 junctions had three links. ### Do you teach vibe coding to children? Yes. They tell an AI what to build in Scratch or Python and are taught to test and question what comes back. ### When are AI agents introduced? After Python is secure, usually in the later teens or for adults. Copilot Studio agents are taught in one-to-one lessons only. ### Is this useful for GCSE or A level computer science? Yes. Graphs, algorithms and programming are all on those courses. We teach understanding and make no grade promises. ### How much are lessons? The first lesson is free. Then a group place is USD 100 a month and one-to-one lessons are USD 150 a month. ### What about school holidays? Lessons pause for them. Just send us the dates.
